I’m somewhat new to Data Science, I use Jupyter Notebook for my python code and a list of packages for my projects. Every time I come across a challenge I feel motivated to share it since I know someone else shares my shoe size. And this morning for the second time I came across this error ; PackagesNotFoundError : The following packages are not available from current channels: as I tried to install keras,pickle and nltk for my chat box mini project.
This is how it appeared;
(base) C:\Users\Mercy>conda install keras,pickle,nltk
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

looking for, navigate tohttps://anaconda.organd use the search bar at the top of the page.
How I solved it using a few lines of command;
(base) C:\Users\Mercy>conda config — append channels keras(base) C:\Users\Mercy>conda config — append channels pickle(base) C:\Users\Mercy>conda config — append channels nltk
Then lastly review the list of packages you have to make sure the packages you needed are available for you.
